    The Portable Xbox is Real

    ItÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s far from done and details are sketchy, but the portable Xbox is very real. Dean Takahashi of The Mercury News breaks news this morning that Microsoft is working on a portable gaming device that will compete directly with SonyÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s PSP and NintendoÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s DS.

    According to the report J Allard is leading the team, with Greg Gibson (system designer for Xbox 360) and Bryan Lee (finance chief for Xbox business).

    [In a bid to capture the huge audience for handheld entertainment gadgets, Microsoft is designing a product that combines video games, music and video in one handheld device, according to sources familiar with the project.

    The Microsoft product would compete with Sony, Nintendo and Apple Computer's products,

    including the iPod. And Microsoft has some of its most seasoned talent from the division that created its popular Xbox 360 working on it. Game executive J Allard leads the project, and its director is Greg Gibson, who was the system designer on the Xbox 360 video game console. Bryan Lee, the finance chief on the Xbox business, is leading the business side of the project.

    By anchoring its entertainment device as a handheld game player, Microsoft is starting from its position of strength in the entertainment business that it hopes Apple cannot match, even with its iPod. The game press has dubbed it an "iPod killer,'' but its functions would likely more closely resemble Sony's PlayStation Portable multimedia gaming device.]

    That would be the sexiest thing ever if I could play gears at school . It would sell millions in a heartbeat no doubt. Microsoft should actually consider trying do make one of these.
